In Shakespeare's play, Cordelia dies before her father King Lear. However, in British folklore, she outlives him and becomes Britain's ruler. Cordelia is a warrior queen who leads armies. Sadly, she is overthrown by her two nephews, who resent being ruled by a woman. 🎨 Pierce Francis Connelly #FolkloreSunday #Mythology #Folklore #Literature #Theatre #Poetry #WilliamSakespeare #Shakespeare #KingLear

Oh no! Not Glenda Jackson! And after her amazing return to acting. She was unforgettable as King Lear. To think she'd been away from the stage (and from acting) for a quarter of a century. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65916692 #RIP #GlendaJackson #GreatActors #Theatre #UK #KingLear #Wirral
